Chapter 226: Hot Pot
Being yelled at by Qiu Xiang like this, the bitter heart of the diligent stomach turned into countless gluttonous insects in an instant, he spat in his eyes, and shouted towards the front yard: "Yue Qilin, didn't you look at the fire? Why do I smell it, and I don't see your squeak.......?" Yi Qingyun, has the garlic and sesame oil been adjusted? I let you two watch the pot, but I didn't let you hide in front and be lazy!"
He took the lead and brought a group of monks who had heard of such a thing as "hot pot" for the first time to the front yard. I saw Yue Qilin holding a bundle of firewood, sweating profusely to add firewood to a bronze tripod erected in the courtyard, while Yi Qingyun hid in the corner with a disgusted face, stirring a pot of sesame oil and garlic juice. Most cultivators don't eat meat, but the so-called meat does not refer to the meat of demon beasts, but to the smelly seasonings such as green onions, garlic, and leeks. For Yi Qingyun, he would rather go to the pot than endure the smell of meat to stir this Laoshzi seasoning for Director Yin.
Of course, for monks, these meats are not absolutely inedible, because some pills and medicinal materials also need to use onions and garlic.
In his previous life, due to the relationship between "business", he went in and out of luxury restaurants, and he was not allowed to enter restaurants that were not rated by Michelin, but in private, he loved hot pot the most, and he belonged to a heavy taste of food without spicy or happy.
Since the soul has been fighting through the wilderness, every time he recalls the taste of shabu-shabu in his previous life, he can't help but have a lot of regrets in his heart. Although he was exempted from slavery in Ozurayama, he did not dare to blatantly make shabu shabu in the Xiuzhen family, let alone add meat such as garlic leeks to it. But in the taste of hot pot, if these heavy seasonings are missing, the soul of hot pot is also missing.
At the moment, the courtesy has finally turned over and mixed up a little situation. At least, in this mansion, he can do the master, big and small.
Therefore, in the Scripture Pavilion, after sending the three monks to excerpt the scriptures, he couldn't wait to stuff a bag of spirit stones and a piece of straw paper with many herbs and monster ingredients written on them, and asked the Blue Bird to go to the Qibaotai to purchase these things.
As for the three of Matthews, they have not been trained in Chinese pinyin, and they will not be able to transcribe the so-called ciphertext, but fortunately, the outer door scriptures on the first floor are not within the scope of the sect's key monitoring, and these three nerds have put a lot of effort into these outer door scriptures. Many of the scriptures have even reached the point where they can be memorized with proficiency in opening their mouths. Therefore, it is only necessary to quickly sift through the various scriptures according to the diligent requirements.
In addition to excerpting the original words of the scriptures, they must also be translated into plain vernacular. He said that he would show Qiu Xiang the excerpts of the three of them tonight, and if Qiu Xiang couldn't understand it, he would deduct the three of them.
The three of them secretly asked Lan Tin who Qiu Xiang was? When they heard that Qiu Xiang was originally a servant feeding pigs in the back mountain, and he couldn't even read many words, he couldn't help but be shocked. With the knowledge of the three of them, it is not difficult to write an article full of flowers, but it is a difficult challenge to write a cultivation scripture that can be understood by the pig-feeding servants.
Seeing this, he summoned a black-faced servant who was in charge of cleaning in the Scripture Pavilion and asked him how he was learning.
The black-faced servant replied in a sneering manner, the rules of the sect, in order to prevent the servants from reading the classics privately, all the servants who work in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion are not very literate.
He threw a spirit stone to the black-faced servant and said with a smile, This is just right, they will read you a scripture from time to time, if you don't understand, you can tell it clearly.
The servant who had worked here for a month might not have been able to get a spirit stone, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said yes in a loud voice.
For the three monks surnamed Ma, although it was much easier to get together to discuss the translation of the scriptures, it was much easier than going upstairs to memorize the scriptures, and the three of them had already sifted through nearly one-tenth of the scrolls in the afternoon, and at this rate, it would not take seven days to complete all the scrolls in the outer thresholds.
Seeing this progress, he was happy in his heart, and waved his hand and said, "Don't work overtime tonight, let's eat hot pot together." ”
It made the blue stunned and couldn't figure out, what is overtime, what is hot pot?
At present, everyone has finally seen the delicious food in the world highly recommended by Director Yin, and under the aroma, although they haven't eaten it, their mouths are already bubbling and salivating.
Only Blue is still reserved, she comes from a wealthy background, and she really doesn't look down on the cooking method of being attentive and putting all kinds of things together and stewing them together. But when she thought of the elixirs and demon beast flesh and blood that she had purchased from Qibaotai, her heart couldn't help but pound. You must know that the expenditure of these things alone is nearly a mid-grade spirit stone, and the value of this pot of things is even more amazing than the meal at Juxiangzhai at the beginning!
What's more, although the dishes of Juxiangzhai are expensive, they are also added with seventy or eighty percent of the water in them, and if the value of the ingredients is calculated, it is naturally far lower than the price of the dishes. And the messy thing of the copper tripod is a real intermediate spirit stone! If you get it to Juxiangzhai to buy it, you can't have ten intermediate spirit stones?!
Lan Tinch secretly glanced at the stone gourd, and a lot of heavenly treasures were added to the ding, and she only secretly told the stone gourd to know. No way, who let this thing have Director Yin's main talisman in his hand, Lan clung to the stone gourd just to get a chance to take this talisman to the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion to open his eyes.
As for the two Qi refining rookies and the three nerds, Blue Tit won't tell them what treasures they have added to Dingzhong!
"Senior Brother Ma, you look at the white bamboo shoots floating and sinking in the Dingzhong, how similar is it to the piece of Stone Milk Jade Xun that we bought with the money we bought a few days ago?" The bamboo pole monk stared at the boiling soup churning in the Dingzhong, and suddenly his eyes lit up and whispered in Senior Brother Ma's ear.
This stone milk jade Xun is a kind of treasure material mined in a cave thousands of meters deep underground, the advantage is that it does not need to be refined, it can be taken directly, and it has the effect of strengthening the divine consciousness of the monks in the foundation building period. However, the price of this thing is not cheap, and it takes three low-level spirit stones to exchange for a short section.
The three of them just received an additional primary-level spirit stone from Hua Ci Peak a few days ago, and the three nerds are combined, and now the loss of consciousness is very serious, and they urgently need treasures like Shi Milk Jade Xun to nourish them. So they were ruthless, each of them got together a spirit stone, bought one from Qibaotai, and then supervised each other to eat the jade Xun one by one.
Because of the preciousness of this thing, and the fact that it had just been taken, the three of them still remembered its shape and color, and they immediately recognized it when they saw the bronze tripod turned up.
Senior Brother Ma also felt familiar, but he was not sure, and hesitated: "It looks a little similar......
